she discovered that bridge over q

burned out doing the night. It was
almost time for a fast express train to

Just beyond sharp curve in the
track. She saw that terrible disaso

vent it. Turning back she ran to-
ward Glenwood, tearing off her old
oroWn apron as she ran to use in
ragglng the train. Infirm and aged
as she was, she succeeded in GETTING
iar enough from the ruins of tbe
bridge to met the train and attract

movement has been set on foot to

Rare Collection Of Autographs.

One of the rarcst collections Of auto
graphs in this country is in the depart
ment of STAGE, where the treaties and other
communications from the crowned heads
Of Europe, since the Declaration OF Inde-
pendence, are preserved. When the Brit
ish burned Washington, these treasures
were packed in bags and carried out into
the country. They now have q place In
the magnificent library OF the new de-
partment of state. In addition to the
handwriting Of the Emperor Napoleon,
the i'll fated Marie Antoinette, crazy
George III, Alexander of Russia and sew
eral Oriental sovereigns, are many Anieri-
can state papers. Prominent among these
are the private papers of George Washing
ton and q volume which relates entirely to
the capture, trial and execution of Maj.
Andre. There is the letter which that
brave young man wrote to Gen. Washing
ton the night before, as he says: Il am TO
swing npUn gibbet, Z and there is also
letter from the traitor Benedict Arnold,
who informs Gen. Washington that, hav-
ing. the interest of his beloved country at
heart, he cansno longer servs in the Amer
lean army. with these autographs are
many valuable souvenirs Of distinguished
individ uals, including the war sword Of
Gen. Jackson, which he broke Ia q az .of
passion. and which was rudely mended by
the camp blacksmith.

TREATMENT OF PRISONERS.
Interesting Experiment i'm California's
State Prison-Food for Convicts.

Interesting Experiment in California's
State Prison-Food for Convicts.
The state of California is trying an in
teresting experiment in the treatment of
prisoners with view Of securing their
reformation. 1t has established the Fol
som state prison among the hills near the
head Of the American river. The scenery
is fine, the air pure, and the water excel
lent The convicts arc chiefly employed
in quarrying and dressing granite. The
building does not essentially differ from
prison structures in most Of the northern
states. 1t is roomy, safe and substantial
1t has the customary cells, baths, and ar
rangamcnts for securing ventilation. The
inmates have their hair cropped and wear
the usual distinctive prison garb, which
insures their arrest if they make an escape.
1t is In the matter of supplying food
that this prison differs from others. The
conyicts, when they first arrive, as well
as those who show little inclination to
work or disposition to be vicious, are
supplied with rather poor fare, consisting
largely Of boiled beans, salt meat, cabbage,
musf, common bread and coffee served
without milk. If not within sight of the
table where this coarse fare is served,
there i3yfithin smell CT it another on which
fresh beef and mutton, various kinds Ut
vegetables, rice, and on Sundays cake,
sirup and tea, are placed. The convict
learns that he can sit at this table and en-
joy the food thereon If he works diligently
and faithfully, conducts himself properly
and gives little trouble to the warden and
his assistants. He also learns that those
who sit at this table are allowed consider
able liberty, and are permitted to take
walks after every meal
The desire to sit at this table is great
Men who do not like to work enjoy good
living, and are generally willing to be at
considerable pains TO secure it. The in
mates Of this penitentiary ordinarily adopt
such course as enables them to sit at the
better table within q few months of their
entrance. When taking their first break
fast at it they perceive the odor of beef
steak, mutton chops, hot rells, and fine
coffee that proceeds from an. adjoining
room. They learn that there are roast
beef and mutton, salads, and buildings
there for dinner, E-slile for supper there
are steaks, chops, fried potatoes, tea, and
. several kinds Of fruit. The price Of ad-
mission to this table is strict attention to
business, respect for all rules and regula-
tions, and the constant observance of pro
priety. The food comes high, but most Of
the conyicts are anxious to obtain it, and
many of them do. Chicago Times.
